The No1 penny sweet AKA pick n mix

[Blue Mist]

Is that why you don't buy beer?

I've been buying beer since I was 14. Who needs sweets when you can drink a pint of Greenall Whitely.

Voted jazzies on the understanding they'e collequially Daz Drops .. aka chocolate buttons with hundreds and thousands on. I used to gamble my bus fare home for them on odds and evens and a dreadful affliction to behold.
At my lowest ebb I was doing a pound bag a day : /

The snake was always a staple of the £1 bag sold by Kal (Villa fan) at Altrincham tram station

I used to go in there playing the arcade machines. Golden Axe, Rampage and Double Dragon. Good times

Anyone remember coltsfoot rock?
Tasted a bit like Victory Vs.

Bit of a deviation from the thread but does anyone remember a strange fizzy drink available in the 70's called Cresta? Looking back, it was probably concocted using a particularly unhealthy combination of harmful chemicals. TV commercials for it featured a polar bear wearing sunglasses whose catchphrase was 'It's frothy man'.

It's frothy man..
